Do innocent children go to Heaven or Hell?

What happens to innocents when they die and have not had the chance to accept Christ as their savior? What about the children of Wiccans? Atheists? Buddhists? Any of these children who die say, before the age of 2, are they condemned to Hell because they haven't been baptised or christened in a Christian ritual?

Obviously this is a question for the Christians out there but lets hear everyone's opinion on the subject.

What is an innocent, a body, a spirit, a soul, a being, a essence?

Are they in the coffin at the funeral home? Are they the creamated ashes in a urn?

Tell us.

Matt 19:24 Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Personal I find the idea of any being condemned to hell as you've put it, biblical
as the Prophet Malachi (4:1) said "Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them."

No offense but I have no idea what you are trying to say. Would you mind making a statement in your own words rather than scripture?

They are in the grave, and will be resurrected in God's due time. The resurrection is promised to both the righteous and the unrighteous. (Acts 24:15) All those in God's memory will be raised back to life, including babies and young childrens. They will grow up in an earth no longer plagued with violence, sickness, or death. (Revelation 21:3,4)

If a innocent child dies he will neither go to heaven nor to hell,he will take another birth in this earth,as only ones actions(good or bad) decides heaven or hell.Their is still much more to tell if you dont get your ans.

Their innocence from sin is enough to make them qualified in the eyes of God, IMO.

Except all people are born with Original Sin are they not?
It is also taught among us that since the fall of Adam all men who are born according to the course of nature are conceived and born in sin. That is, all men are full of evil lust and inclinations from their mothers’ wombs and are unable by nature to have true fear of God and true faith in God. Moreover, this inborn sickness and hereditary sin is truly sin and condemns to the eternal wrath of God all those who are not born again through Baptism and the Holy Spirit. Rejected in this connection are the Pelagians and others who deny that original sin is sin, for they hold that natural man is made righteous by his own powers, thus disparaging the sufferings and merit of Christ.

Like many Christians I do not believe in hell, the devil or original sin nor physical ressurrection.
So it is not a problem.
The Holy spirit works in us all.
